Binance Knows FTX Hacker? Here’s What Data Suggest

Cointime Official

Oxscope, the first ever First-ever Web3 Knowledge Graph Protocol in a recent tweet claims to obtain the smart money address which might know the activity of FTX-hacker and benefit from it. Notably, Oxscope also claimed a suspicious address uses Binance as an exchange.

Binance might know the KYC details of the suspicious address

The top web3 knowledge graph protocol recently tweeted and unveils the activity of a suspicious money address that transferred USDC to Binance which leads to the consequence that Binance might know the KYC of the address. In addition to this Oxscope also revealed that a suspicious address always borrows more than $10M and dumps in the exchange right before FTX-hacker swaps ETH.

Binance yet to clear its stance on this matter

The world’s biggest exchange Binance hasn’t responded yet on this matter but the recent tweet from Oxscope do raise some serious question. Notably, as an exchange, Binance must have an idea about the KYC of the suspicious address.

As per the recent report, the FTX hacker sent 15,000 ETH to 12 different addresses. The asset has a combined value of about $200 million. The FTX hacker on November 21, transferred 195,000 Ethereum out of his wallet. This might indicate that the hacker will exchange the transferred ETH for Bitcoin (BTC). Meanwhile, this led to a further drop in Ethereum (ETH) price, which already declined by around 7% over the last week.

Worthnotingly, amid the global crypto market continuously bleeding, Investors find it more difficult to believe in the cryptocurrency market. Over the last 30 days, the price of bitcoin has fallen by an astounding 17%. At the time of writing, the price of one bitcoin is currently $15,669 on average. According to the data, over the last day, Bitcoin has lost more than $59 million.

Notably, the tracking company Arkham Crypto Intelligence discovered The hacker’s pattern. It stated that the hacker is active between 08:00 and 10:00 UTC. For each operation, it creates a new account. The liquidity of renBTC is currently limiting the attacker. Because of this, it is unable to bridge large sums of money all at once.

  • Trump: Data Centers May Be More Important Than Oil

    August 7 news, U.S. President Trump said in an interview with Punchbowl News, "I saw the other day that Texas seems to be opposed to building data centers. I think that's a mistake. I'm not taking a position—I just think it's a mistake, because there are other communities that want to build data centers. When a community is willing to accept data centers, it means a lot of money will flow into that community. I don't think they're ugly. Some of the data centers I've seen are the most incredible buildings I've ever seen. They are very important to the economy. If Texas says no to data centers, that's a mistake, because data centers may be more important than oil."

  • Trump to Meet with Mining Executives

    On August 7, according to CCTV International News, US President Trump will convene executives from some of the world's largest mining companies at the US State Department on August 7 local time, in an effort to take action to 'secure critical mineral supplies for the US and its allies.' Reuters reported that the US urgently needs critical minerals to replenish weapons inventories depleted during the war against Iran. During the more than five-month war with Iran, the US military expended large quantities of precision-guided missiles and air defense interceptors. US defense officials and lawmakers have warned that given existing production capacity constraints, replenishing some stockpiles could take years—although the Trump administration has denied reports of a so-called 'severe shortage of ammunition stockpiles.' According to Pentagon officials and defense companies, supplies of minerals such as rare earths, tungsten, germanium, and scandium are essential for manufacturing precision-guided missiles, fighter jets, armored vehicles, infrared sensors, and other advanced weapons systems. Expected attendees include industry giants such as global mining giant Rio Tinto Group, Australia's BHP, US Freeport-McMoRan, US Mountain Pass Materials, US Rare Earths, US Energy Fuels, and Canada's Metals Company. According to sources, the Trump administration plans to announce multiple deals and memorandums of understanding.
